Can this switch be used as a timer switch for igniter for fire place?

No!!! You have to push the time you want the circuit closed, ie a bath fan run time. A fireplace igniter switch is a momentary switch and would requite a special timer if available???

I am not an electrician, but if your igniter switch controls when your fireplace runs, and requires less than 800 watts, i think this would be a great application. just check the fireplace manufacturers required electrical load. i would think for a gas fireplace no problem but for an electric fireplace it may require more than 800 watts.

I plugged the unit into an outdoor grounded/ground fault outlet and ran an extension cord to our outdoor lights --- I don't see why you could not plug it into an extension cord as long as it is a grounded cord. But this would expose the unit to the timer to the elements

Yes you can. This is not a touch sensitive, rather a real mechanical on/off switch. It will go on with a timer.

I do not believe so, unless it is automatic switching. There is no way to adjust. BTW this thing worked great for a few months until one day I woke up to that putrid burning electronics smell and found smoke pouring out of it and it was far too hot to handle. Had to wear an oven mitt just to unplug. Your results may vary.

If it works with your blower, it will work with a thermal switch. I use this switch on my two Lennox gas fireplaces and wired a http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026RYU4W/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 thermostat inline underneath. The switch is on the wall and the thermostat is attached to the sheet metal underneath the firebox.

yes it will but you need to know the following: your existing setup has two switches with three terminals and one switch with four terminals... the timer can be used to replace either one of the switches with three terminals and the remaining switch with three terminals will be the one that will need a jumper installed (per the included instruction sheet)... no modifications should be made to the existing switch that has four terminals.

It should. This switch is designed for a 3-way switch, which in spite of the name means that the light is controlled by two different switches. Your switch is evidently a single pole, that is, that one switch controls the light. You can probably buy a less expensive timer for that purpose, one designed for a single pole.

Sure, there is no reason you could not. It fits into the space of a single pole switch. I have installed several outdoor boxes for outdoor lighting, the timer switch would work fine - I didn't do it, but no chance of any problems.

Yes, if it's less than 10 Amps.http://www.intermatic.com/~/media/Intermatic/Documentation/Timers/Spring_Wound/FD_FF_Instructions.pdf

Sorry, I hit yes accidentally. It should be NO. This switch simply replaces a switch that has 3 selections (off, low, high). It is specially designed to allow for high amperage which is needed for a whole house fan. It would replace an older high-low switch but would not work with timer.

I use this on my BBQ outside. It will only work if you can place it at a distance from the fire. I love my timer. We stayed a resort and they used them on their outside BBQ.

There are 5 wires and a solid box behind the switch to hold the timing mechanism. It is possible, but would be a tight fit. It is a tight fit in a regular box with all the wires being pushed back in. You could almost make a case that it may fit easier as there is more room for the wires to splay out on either side of the switch in a 3 box. In the end, I have never tried it as our box is a single box.

Yes it can. It's a single circuit, 15 amp 120 volt transfer switch. So you can use it for a furnace, OR, really any other 15A circuit. But ... it only switches 1 circuit. If you plan to run anything else that's on another breaker in your panel box, you'll need a different transfer switch (and a fatter wallet)

You have to press the little switch. I don't think it will work with a timer.

You wouldn't want to. This timer is to place inline on an electrical circuit for something like a light switch. You would want to use something like this for a water heater: http://www.bulbamerica.com/silver-t300-7-day-digital-heavy-timer-white-color.html?mr:trackingCode=70FBA22C-9F79-E111-8435-001517B1882A&mr;:referralID=NA&mr;:adType=pla&gclid;=CIjy0Jbbv7oCFadFMgodFz8AEg

Yes ..... this switch is purely mechanical ..... will turn circuit on or off depending how the circuit is wired.

This switch would be perfect for that application. Note, however, that the switch isn't rated for outdoor use, so you would have to protect the control module from getting wet. We do have an outdoor version of the switch, the HC6100, that is available from our website. Please let me know if you have any other questions I can help with.
